Sensor+ Dimming System Features
Play back Presets from the CEM+
The CEM+ module provides 128 Presets that can be recorded from EDMX, DMX, or directly
set levels. You can configure each Preset’s name, fade times and playback priority. Presets can
be assigned to any one of four Rooms in the configuration. Sensor+ systems can also have the
Group play back a Preset in case of data loss.
Sensor+ Connect for Feedback
Sensor+ Connect duplicates the functions of the CEM+ module on a PC or Emphasis
Server on the ETCNet2 network. The Web browser interface allows you to monitor rack
activity, reconfigure dimmer curves, record and activate presets, load and backup
configurations, and many other features.
Access to the CEM+ and Sensor+ Connect configuration features is protected by specific
user levels and passwords to limit system-altering features to selected personnel, while
allowing basic operational functions to a wider range of users.
Note:
Sensor+ Connect and Message logging are available on Emphasis Servers as a base
functionality.
Advanced Features
Sensor+ Advanced Features (AF) racks provide additional reporting features that help you
to quickly learn the status of your dimming system and diagnose problems. AF dimmer
modules indicate the presence of data and the relative output of power with LED indicators
on the modules themselves. Much more information can be displayed on the CEM+
module’s integral LCD display or a PC on the network running Sensor+ Connect in a web
browser.
Advanced Features provides the ability to record and monitor individual dimmer loads,
provide error messages such as dimmer removed, SCR fail, breaker trip and other
monitoring tools. Constant comparison of actual dimmer loads against the recorded value
lets the system signal you when a load value changes. The change usually indicates a lamp
has burned out or failed, allowing you to make an immediate replacement.
Dimmer Doubling (60Hz systems only)
ETC’s Dimmer Doubler technology allows you to double the number of controllable
circuits in your system without adding dimmer modules or running additional cable. The key
to this feature is the Dimmer Doubler two-fer.
The Dimmer Doubler two-fer is installed between a Sensor dimmer module and two ETC
Source Four 77 volt fixtures. It splits the output of a single dimmer into two, separatelycontrolled
outputs. You can then use an ETC control console to independently control the
output of the two fixtures.
